Also taking some time this weekend to see my favorite two hockey teams (Devils vs. Stars) play on Saturday. I have two favorite teams, the Eastern Conference's New Jersey Devils, and Western Conference's Dallas Stars (I used to live in Dallas). Who to root for when they play? I root for the Devils, since we live in NJ and go to some of their games (less often than we used to, since we're saving money for the adoption). I hope Stars forward Mike Modano gets to play Saturday. I sometimes wonder if I should write about sports more, the way Mark Byron and Ben Domenech do. I'm a little worried about coming across like an idiot (as if I don't do that already!). I like to watch the games and the standings, but I'm rather rusty when it comes to talking about statistics, the way fantasy football players do. Well, I did notice that the New Jersey Devils, while being neck-and-neck for the Atlantic Division lead, have very few players high up in the leading scorers list. Don't know for sure what to make of that except that it seems that there is a lot of talent spread out among a lot of people, and that they're probably good at winning low scoring games, and playing defense. That's gotta be good for the long term success of the team.
